"INSIDE" is primarily Yoga (classes,
private lessons, workshops) and
ZenShiatsu sessions.
YOGA
The word "yoga" means to unite in harmony. The aim of Yoga
is
to bring balance in our lives starting from the body. It is a process of fully
inhabiting ourselves and our life, to literally take up residence in our bodies
and minds, which can then lead us into simple presence. Presence is a quality
of being that is open and aware.
Yoga provides tools to harmonize our being at all
levels of our existence- physical, mental, social and spiritual. The result is
balance, strenght, opening, inner peace, and finally a happy and fulfilled life.
My Yoga teaching is based on Hatha Yoga (Asanas, Pranayama, Meditation), with
elements of Yin Yoga (Meridian Yoga).
Zen Shiatsu
The aim of Shiatsu is to stimulate
and support the natural processes of self healing, well-being
and personal growth, and to maintain health through balancing
the energetic system of a person. The method used is the application
of pressure, and of energetic and physical touch to the body's
energy channels and points thus balancing the circulation of
the body's energy-Ki or Chi. Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit,
or Ruach in Hebrew is the vital life force found in the air we
breath, the food we eat, and the environment around us. Shiatsu
can help in a wide range of conditions - from specific injuries
to more general symptoms of poor health. Shiatsu is a deeply
relaxing experience and regular treatments help to prevent the
build up of stress in our daily lives.
Common conditions which can be helped by
Shiatsu include: back pain, headaches,
migraines,
neck stiffness, reduced mobility, depression, digestive problems , sports injuries,
stress…
When we are in the peak of
health we have that wonderful feeling of ease within ourselves
and in the world. We are relaxed; we think clearly, we have energy,
vitality, joy and a sense of purpose. We can work effortlessly,
to achieve our goals without stress or struggle. We are flexible
in our minds as well as our bodies. We are in the flow, the Tao
of life!
A Shiatsu session takes approx.1 hour. The treatment is done on a japanese futon; the receiver wears comfortable natural clothes and socks.
